We’re transforming how HR technology delivers value, shifting to a product-led, insight-driven model where outcomes matter and ideas turn into real impact. As an HRIS Senior Analyst, you’ll own a defined Workday domain and play a key role in shaping how technology enhances colleague experience across the organisation.

If you’re excited by ownership, continuous improvement, and the opportunity to influence how HR systems evolve, we’d love to hear from you.

Who Are We? Not just another building society. Not just another job. We're the fourth biggest building society in the UK and what makes us a bit different is that we're a mutual organisation. We don't have shareholders; we're owned by our members. Our colleagues say Skipton's a great place to work, and you could be one of them, bringing with you new ideas on how we can keep customers at the heart of what we do. Whatever your background, and whatever your goals, we'll help you take the next step towards a better future.

• Build strong, trusted relationships across People, Tech and the business.

What Do We Need From You?
